Research

My PhD research was on the theory of clathrate hydrates. In particular, it was emphasized on understanding the merits and drawbacks of well known statistical thermodynamic theory of clathrates, van der Waals and Platteuwe (vdWP) theory, with the help of molecular simulations. As a result, the drawbacks of the theory were understood and an improvement was proposed. With the improvement, now the vdWP theory is rigorous and robust.
